Studies suggest that voter mobilization efforts such as door-to-door canvassing and phone banking significantly increase voter turnout. You can help with that effort by joining a canvass or phone bank near you. See the county tabs below for this week’s canvasses and phone banks. Want to canvass for a Maine Senate candidate?

Suit Up Maine is a statewide, all-volunteer, progressive, grassroots group of more than 5,400 Mainers that seeks to create and foster a more informed and engaged electorate. We raise awareness of and advocate for policies and legislation that promote equity and equality in civil rights, social justice, health care, the environment, education, the economy, and other areas that affect the lives of all people. We are beholden to issues and action, not parties or politicians, and we aren’t engaged in fundraising. Suit Up Maine fosters collaboration among our state’s progressive groups and organizations to collectively connect, educate, and motivate Mainers to rise in non-violent resistance to a regressive agenda.
